This is kinda similar to GraphQL. I like this approach more though.

It's inspired by GraphQL. What do you like about this approach? We are kicking ideas around at the office so it's good to have feedback from outsiders.
TomMarius
I don't like string-based queries, functional approach suits me better.
buwilliams
Agreed. Having a data structure under the hood has so many benefits.

Allowing at will joins is dangerous. It seems you are trying to replicate the functionality of PostgREST
buwilliams
Yeah, it's a proof of concept without any real security added. I do believe security is implementable. How would you use PostgRest to implement authorization in an existing system? It seems to me that we could benefit from a drop-in solution.
